Top 4 Under 40 Series: Thomas Hyde
Episode 26
Tuesday, 17 September, 2024

In this episode of the 2024 Top 4 Under 40 podcast series, Thomas Hyde, owner of Mill Bay Farms on Vancouver Island, shares how his innovative approach to poultry farming is tackling food insecurity. He discusses the journey from starting with just three ducks to expanding his business into a full-circle model with his own processing facility, hatchery, and livestock brokerage. Hyde reflects on the challenges he's faced, including the closure of local waterfowl processors, and how his determination has reshaped the local poultry landscape while empowering small-scale farmers across the region.
